The first production was the Biblical drama Koningin Esther, written by Van Wyk himself. The cast consisted of among others Lena Cronjé, Aletta Gericke and Kosie Gericke* Its tour was initially dogged by accident, the lead actress almost drowning at Herold's Bay, and later a motor accident befalling them. *
